OKLAHOMA CITY - John High visits the capitol often. He advocates for the rights of those with disabilities. But. now, he's fighting for his own. “I am being discriminated against, since I'm in a wheelchair, an electric wheelchair, I'm being discriminated to be able to go there,” High said. KFOR reports: He was going to the House Gallery to watch lawmakers, but staff quickly turned him away at the door. The floor sergeants told High, because of his motorized chair, he can't watch session from the gallery seats. The capitol has a special lift installed, but it was not designed for the newer massive electric machines which High prefers. |
If you're confused by social security disability forms, you might lose your gun rights. The Obama Administration came up with a reasoning for telling the Social Security Administration to flag any confused senior or applicant for disability benefits, who requests extra assistance with understanding the forms and process; may be to be deemed mentally defective and therefor a serious public safety risk. This order would direct clerical staff at the Social Security Administration to flag that applicant and have their name added to the national instant check(NICS), so they could no longer make most firearms purchases.
